A Troubled Postmaster.-A short time ago
postofice was established on the Maryland Cen
tial railroad at place where there's only small
station house with sparsely settled neighborhood
around it. The postmaster, who is a Baltimore
business man, bas had no end of trouble with his
Office and says he is in the same fix as the Michi-
gan postmaster who, desiring to be relieved from
his Office wrote as follows to the Postmaster Gen.
eral "When does my sentence expire? 1t can't
be that am doomed for life unless l find
Pythias to take my place. Twice have resigned,
but the felon might well try to shake off his etters
as silent contempt has been the fate of my epstles.
Oh, please, good Mr.. P. M. General, let me go,
and promise never to do so again. will never
sign another petition to start P. o. on cross
roads if my name figures as its master. Besides,
am an offensive partisan. and really should be
fred, for have made campaign speeches and am
liable to do so again. shall watch the incoming
mails with eager eye, hoping against hope that
nv pardon may come and set me free"

Kerry Cows.-The cattle of Kerry are native
Irish breed, indigenous to the mountainous re-
gions, whence their name comes they are very
strong of constitution, their beefis finely marbled,
and their females are valuable for the dairy where
they rank not inferior to any others bred in the
British Kingdom. The peculiar designation of
the Kerry, that she is "the poor mans cow"
clearly defines her capacities, which fit her to
thrive scanty fare, and, though thus faring,
make good returns to the milk pail. Usually
these cows are small; but when we'll fed, they
reach good size, and for the quantity and quail
ity of their milk they are quite invaluable to the
cottage people and the poor tenant holders, of
Ireland. In COLOR the Kerry is black, ordinarily,
with slime. back )" but this is not their only color,
for brown, white and black, and brown and black
ones are found as well. The cows have the points
for the dairy the skin is soft, fine, and yielding
to the touch; its creamy tinge is plain, especially
at the muzzle and the ears, and their escutcheons
are tokens of their quality their horns are fine,
turning upward in piquant way, and their whole
appearance is of exceeding neatness and grace.
American importers have not invested in them to
any extent, which makes them unfamiliar to our
people, but their own good qualities, their thrift
and adaptability, and their geniality in crossing
with the larger breeds, whereby they increase
their fattening propensity-and with the approved
dairy strains-convinces US that their introduce
ton should be furthered and fostered. There is
money in the Kerry COW, whether preserved in the
purity of her blood or changed by out-crossing
She is essentially dairy animal, and there her
intrinsic value is great and broadly exemplifed.

"a Dig 1uQuStTy LUZ D1lLiI1OT0 OOdhIy.-
parties have purchased 81 900 ofland Spar
rows Point, on the Patapsco, near Baltimore, in
GLIDING the Holly Grove Tvoli resort 162 acres,
and that they contemplate the starting of large
steel works industry there. The first reports that
Northern Central or Pennsylvania Railroad people
were negotiating for the purchase were erroneous.
The owners of the Tivoli property have sold to
the parties for cash, and it is said that options on
adjacent properties to make up the 1000 acres
have been accepted, and the transaction closed at
about $50 to $50 an acre. The Pennsylvania
Steel Works, or persons connected with them,
have been named in connection with the project,
which, if carried through, will give an advanta-
geous addition to the manufacturing interests of
this city. The gentleman who is negotiating the
purchase of the property said that in few days
he will be in position to give statement of the
facts. He said an important industrial enterprise
is contemplated, but it is not yet in shape to be
explained. The rumors that have got out con-
corning the matter, he said, had occasioned no
gotiating parties some difficulties"

Ne,o Hints House Cleaning.-From several
years of observation of the different methods en-
ployed by women in their annual house cleaning,
we convinced that most of them make them
selves great deal ofunnecessary hard work when
putting their "houses in order" The usual way
u.s. to 60 at it if the fate of the nation depended
on having it done at a certain time. "Taking it
leisurely," is something they do not think Of
"Moving" is always dreaded by the men-folks,
and house cleaning, as general thing, is about
as bad. We know one who has completely revo-
lutionized the old system. She begins with the
closets. She empties one at time, cleans it and
its contents returns them to it, and goes to the
next never hurrying the work, and consequently
never making herself sick by overriding, as so
many women do every spring When the closets
are in "apple-pie ORDER" she begins with the
rooms, taking those p-stairs first, one at time,
and working her way down to the cellar. There
is no hustle, no confusion, no "picked- up" meals,
and, consequently, no outbreaks Of wrath on the
part of the men folks, who would not know that
house cleaning was going on if they were. not
asked to help move heavy furniture out of one
room into another now and then, and carry out
the carpets, or bring them in after they had been
beaten and aired. When the house is cleaned in
this leisurely fashion, it is easy to get the men to
help put up shades and curtains, because they do
not get "out of sorts" from the general topsy turvy
condition of things. When the work is completed
the woman of the house is not call used up" She
may be tired-without doubt she is-but she soon
"rests up" and is call right again. while in many
cases the woman who cleans house in the old
fashion, pays for her over-zealous ambition by
sickness brought on by not "going Slow" and
working according to her strength.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

The following selections are taken from advance
sheets of the American Agricultural for April:
House P,ants.-Whether in the greenhouse or
the window garden, plants that have done their
best all winter are now being made ready for their
season in the omen air. While they remain with
in, the increasing heat requires that they have
greater care in ventilation and in freeing them
from insects. Plants that taken out in sum-
mer, if wanted to bloom in pots next winter,
should be kept in the pots; if turned out in the
open ground, they cannot be satisfactorily potted
again. 1t is much better to start with new plants
from cuttings. Such plants may often be plunged
in the border, in the pots, with good results.
Pots that are set out should stand on layer Of
coal ashes to keep out worms Such plants should
be set in partial shade, but never under the drip
of trees. Roots of dahlias and csnnas, and bulbs
of tuberoses and gladious, if laid in boxes Of
soil, exposed to the during the day, and taken
in at night, may be apprecably forwarded, and
ready to plant out.

Clover and Timothy.-Clover and timothy are
the main reliance of most farmers for meadows
and pastures, with the hope that the natural
grasses will "come in" and take the place of the
kinds sown when they die out. as they often do,
in few years. Glover scarcely survives longer
than two years, and the timothy fingers along,
gradually disappearing. until in few years, on
light soils, it is gone Where the aftermath of
timothy is not pastured off, the roots will retain
their hold on the soil longer but when the
are left bare, it is not uncommon to see whole
field killed out in one winter. In very rich
ground clover may be kept alive for several years,
but it cannot be depended upon longer than for
q second crop. More hay can be had from the
usual seeding of clover and timothy than from any
other. The clover occupies the land the first
year almost exclusively the following year it
becomes thinner, and the timothy forms most of
the crop each year afterward. Then its place is
gradually taken by Red-top, Bluegrass, or the
more common wire grass natural to all of the Eas-
tern and Middle States.

,CHlLHOWEE OIL CO.
Stock for Sale.

e tho undersigned have obtained Charter
and propose for sale limited amount OF
20 share St s and sa Se,s Il sese
Drests. Below we give the facts that induce
~ to enter upon this enterprise: 49,,
About the year 1878 Mr.. Cope sank well, ior
the purpose Of finding salt, to the depth Of about
Vas Cooks mill, At the time very little wa:
'rnoWn perhaps nothing at all, in this section OF
.etroleum. We are reliably informed that oil IN
considerable quantities lowed from IT. TINS wen ~
:. 1owledge of its value together with the fact
that the 0dor was 20 disagreeable and with want
a rronsy yxpsrfment any iurtner tho rroRIle-
don the well. This well Is now under our con-
troll by lease, and it is our desire to develop It.
We have been to the place. had the plug with;
drawn from the mouth OF 1t and have seen Oh
floating on top of the water That had the smell
of petroleum very strongly .,ooo
Our estimate is that it will take about S2,OOO to
determine whether there s oil IN sufiicient guam
titles to make it profitable. We propose TO sell
$40 1000 of stock at $40 per share OF 500 each
and pledge ourselves that every dollar OF It shall
be expended in the experiment or effort OF md,
ing whatever may be OF value thereabont, and
that none Of the money shall be paid out for any
other purpose, in salaries or any other way. we
propose that in the event we do not obtain the
money in this way sufficient to sink a well or
wells 1000 or 1900 feet in depth, that whatever
money may De palu IN SHALL pe reluuuou w .ne
parties subscribing.
We feel like the circumstances herein referred
to Justify us in the undertaking, and that sntfi
cient number of our people, we hope will view
scribe whatever they feel willing to risk upon
this enterprise. IL the enterprise fails the loss
will be small. If successful the stock taken will
:. be very valuable. We do not want any one to
take an. amount that they could not afford TO
lose in the event we are not successful: We be,
lieve if it should be successful the profits would
